The goal is to produce the following XML with JAXB
string data
binary data
>
I couldn't get @XmlValue
working as I always got NullPointerException
along the way—not sure why. I came up with something like the following instead.
Drop your Bar
class entirely, because, as you want it to be able to contain anything you can simply represent it with Object
.
@XmlRootElement(name = "foo", namespace = "http://test.com")
@XmlType(name = "Foo", namespace = "http://test.com")
public class Foo {
@XmlElement(name = "bar")
public List
Without telling JAXB which namespaces your types are using every bar
element inside a foo
would contain separate namespace declarations and stuff—the package-info.java
and all the namespace stuff serves only fancification purposes only.
@XmlSchema(attributeFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED,
elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED,
namespace = "http://test.com",
xmlns = {
@XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://test.com", prefix = ""),
@XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", prefix = "xsi"),
@XmlNs(namespaceURI = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", prefix = "xs")})
package test;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema;
Running this simple test would spout-out something similar to your XML snippet.
public static void main(String[] args) throws JAXBException {
JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Foo.class);
Foo foo = new Foo();
foo.bars.add("a");
foo.bars.add("b".getBytes());
Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
marshaller.marshal(foo, System.out);
}
Output:
a
